With this itinerary through Barceloneta we will discover the industrial past of the neighbourhood as well as the transformations that it underwent throughout the 19^th and 20^th centuries, making known the local history and the material and immaterial heritage of more than a century of industries in the neighbourhood.

We will show the spaces occupied by the old industries, such as the Maquinista Terrestre i Marítima, the Catalana de Gas or the Escuder factory and we will explain the evolution and the transformations that the houses underwent to accommodate all the workers in the factories.

We will also talk about the transformation of the urban landscape with the construction of the market and of new buildings destined to be places of services for the factories or for the workers' organization, such as cooperatives or athenaeums.

In summary, our intention is to value all those elements linked to the past and the present so that the visitor knows first-hand the history of the neighbourhood.
